Not Louis’ best work, but it still builds a complete world with arresting characters and relatable struggles. The heroine is just a tad deluded for my taste (rich, I know).

This isn't like most romance books, you go on a different trip than normal which is refreshing. Some of the charecters really really suck, and these characters are living with real things. They're more flushed out than a stock charecter. It's not always a light read.

Brought together under less-than-ideal circumstances, after spending an evening stranded but enjoying each other's company and conversation, Noelle and Sam go their separate ways. What follows is a series of serendipitous encounters that leave Noelle questioning whether fate is trying to bring them together or she should reunite with her ex-boyfriend. The serious side stories with her friends and family occasionally seemed to be taking up a lot of time, even darkening the mood. However, though somewhat predictable, the additional "coincidental meetings" between Noelle and Sam helped to lighten the mood and made for a fun, sweet story.

I really enjoyed this book. It was so cool to see how interconnected Sam and Noelle’s lives were. Parts of this were pretty light, but I like how the author also included the discussion of grief and guilt in this story. Overall, I would recommend it.
